(31) cases involving haplology; (32) unclassified cases.
(1) 3 / 311 and c/ g variations As Prakrit had always a short vowel before a cluster, 31 and 5 in such a Position were always short. There being no special character or device to represent short sit and short y, they were written loosely either as ait, ç or as a, 5. Moreover, in some dialects, 311, , and ; in close syllables seem to have undergone some change in quality also, as is shown by MIA. and NIA. evidence, alhough its exact character and conditions are as yet more or less undefined. Hemacandra has noted in his grammar these variations (SH. 8, 1, 85; 116). and has also made remarks under DN. 2, 101. At several places in the DN. com. too he has noted such variants. See Pischel 8884, 119, 122, 125, 127 (i). An af (or ) variant (as the case may be ) for the following has been noted by Hemacandra in the commentary (or elsewhere): 35-49. swafest (1, 112, etàaoui (1, 130 ), Jāni 1,
136), 375€ (1, 101), 35970 (1, 103), grafisk (1, 133) 371373 (1, 119). 5690421 (1, 122 ), J591120i (1, 103), (2, 33 ). g5H (3, 14), fers (3, 35; 3, 39), 4907 (6, 106 ), tzzau (7, 14),
3* (7, 23). 50-52. For atza ( 2, 13), 313#**(3, 33) an 3-variant
is noted in the com. 012 (4, 44 com; SH. 8, 4, 143 ) and gas (SH, 8, 4, 143 ) to throw' (fan).
